Thinning: Artisan colors can be thinned with water instead of solvents used with conventional oil paints. Add water slowly, a little at a time, mixing well on the palette. If too much water is added or added too quickly, some colors may "foam." By using Artisan painting mediums, you can avoid this phenomenon. Artisan is a water-soluble oil paint made from modified linseed and safflower oils. The colors have been developed to behave and look like conventional oil paints. Artists can use water for thinning instead of solvents such as turpentine or white spirit. Painting tools can also be easily cleaned with water and soap.

Since Artisan has the same color depth, thick, buttery consistency, working properties, and drying times, as well as the same lightfastness and opacity/translucency as conventional oil paint, artists can use Artisan with all oil painting techniques. The colors are manufactured using modified oils that are not water-repellent but mix easily with water: this is the most important difference between Artisan water-mixable oil paint and conventional oil paints. Artisan has also developed its own range of water-mixable painting mediums so that you can use all possible traditional oil painting techniques and styles – without turpentine or white spirit.
